A Week-In-The-Life of Akila and Patrick: The Road Forks

Traveling around the world was a vision for Akila and Patrick that turned from a three-month trip to a multi-year lifestyle. Akila writes for online magazines and blogs and is working on a novel, while Patrick consults for his software design firm doing software architecture and grant writing. They left the United States in September 2009 and have found delectable food, awe-inspiring scenery, rollicking adventures, speedy Internet, and people who fill their hearts with wonder and joy. They chronicle their journey eating, cooking, and traveling across the world at The Road Forks. Please enjoy this week-in-the-life of Akila and Patrick as they travel through South Africa.

7:30 p.m.: Dinner at okay Indian restaurant with curries and garlic naan.

10:00 p.m.: Back at hostel. Hang out with college students heading toward Sodwana Bay.

11:00 p.m.: Crash. Asleep in minutes.

After drifting about southern Africa for a couple of months, Akila and Patrick are back in the United States road-tripping with Chewy and Abby, their patient and wonderful dogs, whom Akila and Patrick have missed very, very much. The four of them will be taking the Queen Mary 2 to England next July and spending a couple of years hopefully not getting too fat in Europe.
